Revised toolkit for infection prevention and control

The Infection Protection Society and the Royal College of Nursing have launched a revised toolkit to support professionals involved in the commissioning or assurance of health and social care services.

"The prevention of infection is fundamental to the safety and quality of care delivered to patients and remains a key priority for the NHS. As the epidemiology of many HCAI cases becomes more complex and as the threat of antimicrobial resistance increases, it is essential that we build on the progress made to date and work to identify new ways to improve practice." Dr Mike Durkin, Director of Patient Safety, NHS England
